The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1887-06-01

ing. The demand for seed potatoes is over
but otherwise it is becoming active. White
stock is in good supply and shade easier
Early Rose sell at 90 to 75c, Beauty of
Hebrons at 60 to Soc Burbank Seedlings at
50 to zoe and Prolifics at 30 to 65c per bushel
BUTTER.-The market is low and without
life. Prices have declined steadily, as very
heavy receipts have come in and accumu-
laton seems probable. Northern dairy
lots are in full supply and selling slowly.
Imitation creamery and ladle-packed
goods are somewhat lower and dull.
Extra Northern creamery sells at 10
to 1gJc, extra Western creamery at 10
to 195c choice do at 10 to 16c, the finest
franklin county dairy at IS to 19c, good
to choice do at 16 to 18c, choice Northern
dairy at Is to 17c and fair to good do at II
to 13c per pound.
BOSTON FLOUR AND GRAIN.
FLoUR.-The market continues steady
and firm. There is moderate business at
quotations. The tone of the trade is very
healthy, and the prices are strong, in COM
mon with those on wheat. Dealers are now
so independent that rather than grant con-
cessions they will not place their goods
Spring patents continue firm at our
quotations, with some lots held higher.
Winter flours are steady and firm. Fine
sells at $3.50 to $3.50, superfne at $3.50
to S3.15, common extras at $3.50 to 1915,
Michigan roller atS4.40 to $3.50 and winter
wheat patents at $500 to S5.25 per barrel.
GRAIN.-The market continues steady.
Trade is quiet as a rule. Corn sells at 80
to 54c and oats at 364 to 42c per bushel, as to
quality. Winter wheat bran brings S21 90 to
| $2l 80, spring wheat bran S20.50 to S21 90,
middlings $500 to $3.50 and cotton-seed
meal $500 per ton.
THE WOOL MARKET.
THE market must be reported stronger,
more on account of the impossiblity of
| replacing stocks at present quotations than
for any material increase in the demand.
AS was the case last week, the inquiry has
! been almost entirely for medium woods. Ohio
Xxx sells at 80 to 34c, Ohio X at 81 to 32c,
Michigan No. at 80 to 36c, Maine supers
at 43 to Acc and extra Western supers at
30 to 33c per pound
THE LUMBER TRADE.
The receipts of Eastern lumber are light
and are taken up Immediately. The de.
mand is good, and the trade during the sea-
son promises to be very good. The mills
down East are about beginning work but
there is little being shipped at present. The
reports of the loss of logs were, as usual
exaggerated and it is now thought that but
very few of them have been lost, as the
lower mills will secure what passed below
the upper booms. Car lumber has con-
tinued in good demand. The mills are all
quite busy and are we'll supplied with orders
frlceS are steady. hOugn nemlOck DOarus
